Wilhelm FucHs Patented Nov. 24, 1931 UNITED STATES WILHELM FUCHS, OF BUDAPEST, HUNGARY .TIIPING COIN PLATE Application filed July 7, 1930, Serial No. 466,270, and in Hungary February 27, 1930.

The present invention relates to a tipping coin plate which can be tipped about two supports or pivots in two directions and which is characterized by simplicity of design, ease 5 and reliability of operation, and cheapness of manufacture.

The drawings show a constructional form by way of example of the subject of the invention, namely: 7

Figure l is a side elevation and part section through the line 11 of Fig. 2, Fig. 2, is a plan view and Fig. 3, a front elevation of the coin plate; Fig. 4, is a side elevation of the tipping tongue or a channel-shaped guide; 15 Fig. 5, is a plan view of the tipping tongue or the guide; Fig. 6, is a side elevation and a plan view of the underlying plate which serves as a bearing (support) during the tipping of the plate and; Fig. 7, a plan view of the plate; Fig. 8, a front elevation of the plate, and finally Fig. 9, a perspective View of the coin plate.

In the constructional form illustrated, to

the bottom of the plate a there is fixed a metal band 7' bent to U-s'hape in the middle and designed at both-ends as a tipping tongue 9. From the connecting (coupling) members j between the tipping tongues and the U-shaped part, a tongue 70 projects downwards on both sides, which tongues can be accommodated in the grooves m of the supporting plate Z fixed to the base. From both ends of this supporting plate prolongations To extend which surround (embrace) the coupling member j, like a fork, and these are provided with the grooves m which serve to receive the tongues 70. On pressing down the tipping tongue 9 the tongues 75 turn in the grooves 171. in the same manner as if they were mounted in bearings, owing to which ,the'tipping is made reliable and easy. Duringthe tipping movement the curved part of the band moves along the edge m of the supporting plate Z, then the edge 7' of'the band strikes against the edge m of the suptongues g abut against the plate in such a 50 manner that between the tongue and the bottom face of the plate there is in each case interposed a vertical downward prolongation h. At the two ends of the plate where the coin slides off it, a rib i directed upwards is 55 v in each case pressed in the surface of the plate centrally to the outlet opening.

The prolongation it formed between the tipping tongue 9 and the plate prevents the hand which is laid on the tipping tongue from approaching the lower part of the end of the plate because, owing to the prolongation it between the plate end and the hand surface, a space or distance is formed which remains even during the tipping movement, which renders possible the unhindered sliding down of the coin into the hand surface, while if this prolongation h were omitted, the coin collecting on the hand surface lying in front of the plate would prevent the sliding down of further coins from the plate. The ribs 2' also prevent congestion of the coins because the inner edge of the coin sliding on this rib is lifted off slightly from the plate so that amming (seizing) in the outlet opening can be prevented in this way, consequently the coin slides more easily away from the plate.

The plate itself is suitably provided with advertisements which, during the fitting of S the plate act as a very effective moveable advertisement.

I claim:

1; A tippable coin plate wherein a V shaped metallic band for guiding said plate during tipping is provided, in combination, tongues carried by the extremities of said band for tipping said plate, trunnions for said plate, said trunnions being formed by tongues formed out of the horizontal parts of the legs of saidmetal band and protruding downwards, a base plate, f0rk-like projections protruding from said base platesaid projections gripping said guide band on two sides and grooves in said projections for accommodating said trunnions. 2. A tippable 'coin plate as claimed in claim 1 characterized in that the trough of the tipping tongue reaches behind the plane of the leg vmember protruding vertically downward at both extremities of the plate so that when the finger is laid into this trough it cannot slide upward by reason of the Vertical leg member.
